OK so we thought we should get a pejorative name for the twits who BUY the

My thought was "garbage provider". e.g. We have network providers,
access providers, so why not garbage provider?
They have a very good business model. They take other people's
garbage, and dump it on your front lawn. It's a phenomonally
successful business model for them, and a stinky problem for everyone
else.
After some thought we came up with 'something like suckers' but no further.
So I'll make an executive decision here and the name is LIST KIDDIES.
IMHO, that's too close to 'script kiddies', and thus shares mindset
with it. A name which doesn't have overlap with an existing term
would get more unique mindshare.
